And we are now on track to show a 240 per cent increase in turnover over the next financial year.

Xero is a powerful platform that can work for businesses of all types. While it’s historically been used for small businesses, organisations of all sizes can take advantage of its easy-to-use features and integrations.
One of the beautiful things about Xero is that a Xero account is completely scalable. You can start with one user, and grow from there.
As well as your traditional accounting features, like billing, invoicing, and single touch payroll, Xero integrates with over 1,000 apps, too, meaning you can connect any usability you need directly to your Xero dashboard.
So however your business works, and whatever industry you’re in, Xero will help you thrive.
Like we said in the previous question, there are over 1,000 Xero add-ons and integrations that your business can access. These are designed to help you save time, save effort, and make your already easy accounting even easier.
Head over to the Xero app store to browse the full range.
Xero is perfectly safe to use all day, every day. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t be using it.
Here’s just a taste of the security protection that Xero offers:
Part of the reason we love and recommend Xero is its ease of use.
From an easy setup process, to intuitive banking, it doesn’t take long to get your head around your Xero system. It features an easy-to-understand dashboard, that clearly shows all the available accounting features and applications. A top menu holds all your operations in logical siloes, so you can easily navigate your way around your day-to-day needs.
Built on powerful cloud software, Xero is designed to be used on any device, wherever you have internet connection.
It’s made to be user-friendly—and if you do have any questions, concerns, or can’t understand how to do something, our Xero accountants are right here to help you learn.
Getting started with Xero is easy.
Our Xero accountants in Melbourne can help you create your account, or you can sign up yourself through the Xero website. Once that’s done, all you need to do is enter your business information, set up up your processes, and away you go.
Once you start using it, you can set up different team roles, customise your dashboard, and begin managing your Xero accounting and bookkeeping in just a few steps.
Xero even provide a central database of tools and tips to help you learn how to get more out of your platform.
